Background
背景
Gone with the Wind, based on Margaret
Mitchell's best-selling novel about the South
during the Civil War and Reconstruction,
made producer David O. Selznick's name a
box-office draw, made the relatively unknown
Vivien Leigh an international star, and
became the most popular motion picture of
all time.
Soon after Selznick bought the movie
rights to Mitchell's novel in July 1936,
thousands of fan letters began to arrive
at Selznick International Pictures, most of
them demanding that Clark Gable play the
role of Rhett Butler. In order to get Gable,
Selznick had to make a deal with MGM and
Louis B. Mayer, who held Gable's contract. In
exchange for Gable's services and $1,125,000
of the film's budget, MGM would receive
the distribution rights and half the profits of
《乱世佳人》基于玛格丽特• 米切 尔的畅销小说改编，内容是关于内战和 重建期间的美国南方。该片使制片人大 卫• 奥 • 塞尔兹尼克创造了一个票房记 录，使比较默默无闻的费雯• 丽成为国 际明星，影片也成为有史以来最受欢迎 的电影。 在1936 年 7 月，塞尔兹尼克买下 米切尔该小说的电影权。此后不久，塞 尔兹尼克国际影业公司开始收到成千上 万影迷的信件，他们中的大多数人要求 由克拉克• 盖博出演白瑞德的角色。为 了得到盖博，塞尔兹尼克不得不与米高 梅公司和路易斯•B• 迈耶（他拥有盖博 的合同）做了一笔生意，以换取盖博的 服务，并且以1,125,000 美元的影片预 算作为交易条件，米高梅会得到《乱世 佳人》的地方销售权和一半的利润。 由于塞尔兹尼克与联美公司签订过

GWTW .
Since Selznick had a contract with United
Artists to distribute all his films until the end of
1938, principal shooting on GWTW could not
start before 1939. In order to maintain public
interest in the film before shooting could begin,
Selznick launched a nationwide talent search
to find an unknown actress to play Scarlett
O'Hara. In the course of the two-year search,
1400 candidates were interviewed and 90 were
tested, at a total cost of $92,000. Among those
considered for the part were Katharine Hepburn
and Paulette Goddard. The role eventually went
to Vivien Leigh, a British actress who was largely
unknown to American audiences.
The production phase of GWT W began
auspiciously in December 1938, with the Atlanta
fire scene—the largest fire ever staged in a film up
to that time. Principal shooting, which started six
weeks later, was plagued by numerous problems
and required seven months to complete. The
main problem was the script, which despite the
efforts of more than a dozen writers, remained
a confusing mass of revisions, and revisions of
revisions, until after shooting was completed.
The disorganized condition of the script made
shooting difficult and created tension among
the production personnel. After only three weeks
of principal shooting, Selznick replaced director
George Cukor with Victor Fleming. Two months
later, Fleming, upset by Selznick's handling of the
script, went home and refused to work. Selznick
quickly hired Sam Wood to direct and when
Fleming decided to return to the film two weeks
later, Selznick let the two men split the directorial
chores.
合同，联美公司会一直经销其影片， 直到1938 年底。所以，《乱世佳人》 的主要拍摄不可能在1939 年之前 开始。为了在拍摄开始之前维持公 众对影片的热情，塞尔兹尼克启动 了一项全国性的人才搜索，以便找 到一位不知名的女演员来扮演斯嘉 丽• 奥哈拉。在两年的搜索过程中， 1400 名候选人进行了面试，90 名 进行了测试，总成本高达92,000 美元。在那些被认为适合这个角色 的演员当中，包括凯瑟琳• 赫本和 波莱特• 戈达德。最终，这个角色 给了费雯• 丽，一个美国观众很陌 生的英国女演员。 1938 年 12 月，《乱世佳人》 的制作过程以亚特兰大火景为第一 幕顺利地开始了，对当时而言，这 是电影史中上演过的最大一场火。 主要拍摄开始于六周后，面临着众 多的问题，需要七个月来完成。主 要的问题是剧本，尽管有超过一打 的作家在努力，仍然有大量的令人 困惑的修订，修订之后再修订，一 直持续到拍摄完成。在混乱的情况 下，拍摄变得困难，制作人员关系 变得紧张。仅仅开机三个星期后， 塞尔兹尼克用维克多• 弗莱明取代 了导演乔治• 丘克。两个月后，弗 莱明因为对塞尔兹尼克处理的脚本 感到烦乱，拒绝工作而回家了。塞 尔兹尼克很快雇用了山姆• 沃德来 导演。当两周之后弗莱明决定返回 这部电影时，塞尔兹尼克让两人共 同承担导演的工作。 当《乱世佳人》终于完成时，Part I

When GWTW was finally completed, it
turned out to be a monumental film in almost
every respect. Its technical achievements
included the Atlanta fire sequence, the use of
matte paintings to provide distant backgrounds
and to complete partially constructed sets,
and the railroad depot crane shot, in which
the camera pulls back and up to reveal Scarlett
O'Hara walking among thousands of wounded
Confederate soldiers—about 2000 live extras
and dummies. Its total cost was $4.25 million—
equivalent to $50 million today. It had the
longest running time (3 hours 40 minutes) of
its day and the largest titles in cinema history—
each word of the film's title fills the screen itself.
It was also the first major film to successfully
challenge the Production Code's prohibition of
profanity—with Rhett Butler's final line, "Frankly,
my dear, I don't give a damn."
When GWTW premiered in Atlanta on
December 15, 1939, over one million people
poured into the city of 300,000, hoping to see
Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, and the other stars
who attended the premiere. After three days
of parades, celebrations, and Confederate
flag-waving, a select audience of 2500 people
saw the film, and they loved it. GWTW quickly
became a worldwide critical and box-office
success and won ten Academy Awards, a
record that stood until 1959, when Ben Hur
won eleven.
As of 1983, GWTW has earned $76.7 million
in domestic rentals. In 1976 NBC paid $5 million
for the film's television premiere. The program,
aired over two nights in November, 1976,
received a 47.6 Neilsen rating—the highest
在每个方面它几乎都成为了一部不朽 的影片。它的技术成就包括：亚特兰 大火灾事件，使用影像形板绘画提供 远方背景、完成部分背景设置，以及 铁路车站升降镜头，镜头向上向后拉， 以表明斯嘉丽• 奥哈拉行走在成千上万 的受伤邦联士兵中，这些士兵由2000 名临时演员及假人扮演。它的总成本 是425 万美元，相当于今天的 5000 万。 它在当时是播放时间最长（3 小时 40 分钟）的电影。它拥有在电影历史上 最大的标题，电影标题的每个字充满 了屏幕。对于禁止使用亵渎语言的电 影制作准则，它也是成功挑战该准则 的第一部重要电影，因为白瑞德的最 后一行话是：“坦白说，亲爱的，我 一点也不在乎。” 1939 年 12 月 15 日， 当《 乱 世 佳人》在亚特兰大首映时，30 万人口 的城市涌入超过一百万人，希望能看 到克拉克• 盖博、费雯 • 丽和其他出席 首映式的明星。经过三天的游行、庆 祝、狂欢，2500 名被选中的观众看了 这部影片，他们很喜欢它。《乱世佳人》 迅速在全世界获得了影评和票房的胜 利，并赢得十个奥斯卡奖项，这个纪 录直到1959 年《宾虚》获得十一个奖 项时才被打破。 1983 年，《乱世佳人》在国内已 经获得了7670 万美元的租金收入。 1976 年，美国全国广播公司为影片 的电视首映支付了500 万美元。节目 在1976 年 11 月播出了两个晚上，收 到了47.6 尼尔森收视率，是在电视上 播放的电影得到过的最高收视率。哥 伦比亚广播公司随后购买为期20 年的

1. In order to get Gable, Selznick had to make a deal with MGM and Louis B. Mayer, who held Gable's contract.
In order to它是英语中一个固定搭配，后接不定式，表示目的，意为“为了，以便； 想要”，比如：He polished off his work in order to see his girlfriend. 为了去见女朋友， 他匆忙地做完手头的工作。
Make a deal with它是英语中一个固定搭配，是“与……做生意，和……妥协； 与……达成协议”的意思，比如：I'm looking for someone to make a deal with me. 我 想找个人和我做个交易。
翻译：为了得到盖博，塞尔兹尼克不得不与米高梅公司和路易斯•B• 迈耶做了一
笔生意——他拥有了盖博的合同。
2. When she falls on hard times and needs money, she goes to Rhett. Falls on hard times它是英语中一个常用短语，其中fall on 可以表达“（责任、
任务、灾难等）落在……身上，由……承担”的意思，所以fall on hard times 是“倒霉，
遭遇不幸”的意思，相当于fall on ( 或 upon) evil days，比如：Losses on the stock
market caused him to fall on hard times. 股票市场上的损失使他倒霉。
